Middle of the Night Club

[littleoc]

I'm sitting in front of my computer in a hot room sort of refusing to sleep. Haven't taken my nightly shower yet. It's almost three AM and I'm just trying to feel better about myself. So... guess I'll go shower and at least lay down. Seems logical.

1:34 AM now. I was just chatting with some friends on another website. Not very sleepy. I know what will make me sleepy, but I hate to put on weight, just to get sleepy! If I eat a satisfying meal, I will be sleepy and go right off to sleep. I have been doing this since goodness knows when and it is starting to really show badly when I wear almost anything at all that is not baggy or something. I weigh over 200 pounds now. I hide it pretty well, because 90% of it as in my gut area. The rest of me looks still mostly slender. None the less, my knees are starting to feel the weight. So are my feet. One hip is as well. My body protests all this extra weight! But my gut and my mouth? They want more food. I think my brain does too. I have some kind of physical malfunction going on, as I am hungry now! The last time I ate was at 7:30 PM or so. I should not be hungry yet!

If you’re actually hungry, try a small snack! It’s no good to just be hungry — that can trigger your brain to think something is wrong, and slow down your metabolism.

Not that I’m a nutritionist, just to be clear.

Maybe you could try a light snack of cheese or nuts? Or seeds. Something high in protein like that. Fruits and veggies are good snack options as well :)

Also, feeling you. It’s 12:50 A.M. right now, and I can tell if I’m hungry or not, but I think I am so I’m going to eat a half cup or so of grapes. Fiber, vitamins, and pretty filling!

Pro tip: My nutritionist recommended for me to avoid sugary things, but on the Shabbat I can have some as long as I don’t overdo it. Having the one day makes it way easier to resist the rest of the week. :) Any day of the week works, obviously.

Well, I survived the night with having had a small bit of protein shake, just enough of something in the tummy to make me comfortable again. Now to survive the day. The Dr. thinks I have sleep apnea, so I am always so tired during my days now. Coffee helps a bit, but I need to get a sleep study and it just does not seem to be happening, no matter how much the sleep study folks and I nag my Dr.'s office for some info that is needed before the study can be done. Monday I am going to be doing some serious nagging!

I´m awake because some c*nt slammed the door of the house three hours ago and I´m so messed up now I can´t sleep.

2:21 AM now. I am still so upset about having my Facebook account stolen from me. When it first happened I thought to myself, how can this be? I was shocked. I could not believe that something like this could happen. However, the more I think about it, the more I am convinced that Facebook makes it way too easy for someone to do this to you, if they can somehow guess your password.

Norton told me that the hackers have apps that they use to try to crack your password. Once they succeed, they remove your contact info from your account and bingo, they are in (you are out) and they can do as much damage as they want to.

In my case they are attempting to run a scam on all my friends.

So, I am sitting here, wide awake, cannot sleep. I have pondered every way I can think of about how to recover my account, even researching what others have done in the same situation. No luck there.

In many ways it is no great loss. Facebook can be a waste of time a lot of the time. I look back on it and I think how many hours of my life have I spent scrolling down.... and I concluded that I have squandered far too much time doing just that. For what, anyway? What did I get, or anyone get, for that matter, by doing that? NOTHING, really. I did not really learn anything from it. I did not really gain any friends, because I am cut off from all of them now anyway.

I hate that this is bothering you so much, @Changing4Best :(:hug: I think you should be bothered, though.

I tried looking up some information for you, and didn’t find much, but this forum post (second reply) seems promising...

Doesn’t look like it works 100% of the time, but I suppose it might be worth looking into.

But for tonight, I hope you get some rest! You’re right, a lot of Facebook can feel like you’re connected when you aren’t. Also, the way the ads track us is rather... creepy. It’s been helpful in a few cases, but definitely not always.
